Human interaction with nature is the subject of Yann Arthus Bertrand’s work.
Mr. Bertrand has devoted the previous decade of his career to capturing man’s
influence on the earth with his aerial photos. From the Brazilian rainforest
to Japan, his photos show amazing beauty.
Yann Arthus Bertrand has undertaken to record the state of the planet. He has shown the photos he has taken in a book and in an art exhibit titled Earth
From Above. Aerial photographs from the McMurdo area will be in his next Earth
From Above book and exhibit. Mr. Bertrand is the author of over 40 books. His Earth
From Above series is in partnership with UNESCO.
Mr. Bertrand will work out of McMurdo for approximately three weeks. He will photograph the Ross Island and Dry Valleys area from a helicopter.
